Vereins Kirche Museum — Attraction in Fredericksburg

Nothing against the place itself, but the woman there was something else.

My mother, to be polite, kept talking with the woman. She asked where my mither was visiting from (a place in Texas near Tyler). When my mom told her where she was from, the woman said "oh, i know that town. It's in X county."

Yeah... I don't know if she was having a bad day or something, but she really needs to check...

Roosevelt’s presidency. ​ Day Pass includes entrance to Pioneer Museum, Vereins Kirche Museum and Historic Jail when open...

And because of covid I'm glad they did the opening & light program every night, so we were able to attend! Pictures don't show the beauty or the size! Just beware, there's not many places open downtown after 6pm to eat, and those that are have over an hour wait! It wasmainstream! Way to end a day of shopping through...
